So I have begun another ugly blanket. Normally such a blanket is intended to provide warmth and comfort for a friend, but this time I have decided to knit for a larger purpose. Once complete this ugly blanket will be raffled off, its proceeds going to UNICEF and its efforts providing famine relief for those suffering in Africa. When I am at a reasonable place in its production I will begin selling raffle tickets, but until then I will feature its progress on the blog.

Start saving up- you could have an ugly blanket of your own, and help a lot of people at the same time!

If anyone has any spare wool, leftover wool, or wants to buy a ball of wool for the project, I would be grateful. Colour, shape, size- doesn’t matter- it is, after all, an ugly blanket.
